Ensure journald service is active

How it is checked

Audit method: Shell command

alt0() { command -v systemctl >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "step1: systemctl not installed"; return 1; }; o=$(bash -c 'systemctl is-active systemd-journald.service' 2>&1); printf '%s\n' "$o" | tr -s ' \t' '  ' | sed 's/^ //;s/ $//' | grep -Fxq -- active || { echo step1: missing active; return 1; }; }; if alt0; then echo compliant; fi

Expected output

compliant

How it is fixed

Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch
